If all of the pledged delegates do not push someone over the top at the convention, then they are free on subsequent convention votes. It will become a back room, brokered convention. I may be wrong but I think that is the way it works.
If you use DuckDuckGo, you can find stuff like that easily.
I searched for “hillary clinton parody jello” (without the quotes), and the first return was the one you wanted.
The Democrat convention is scheduled to be held from July 13–16, 2020, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
For a democrat I would imagine it’s whenever you feel like it.
Democrats can do whatever they want, whenever they want.
...concerned with Bloomberg. He has the track record and money to run a good candidacy.
__________________________________________
He has a face for radio and a voice for print.
Money isn’t the secret, although it helps. Steyer has plenty of money and Hillary had over 1B$/name recognition/inevitability and lost.
Bloomberg is a colossal pill. Outside of Manhattan, most people just know he owns a news service. No charisma. No connection to average Americans. What has he won besides a mayoral election in NYC?
He would garner the 20% who automatically vote D and many of those may pass on before the election.
Yep—and I would hate to see what might happen if just a few delegates were to come between Hillary and another nomination.
I too noticed the difficulty finding articles that were readily available just one month ago on Google Search.
There manipulation is beyond obvious.
It’s not one election. There are 50 state elections. Laws vary widely.
Here’s state by state deadlines for candidates to enter primaries:

Good link, but some of the dates don’t make sense as they are after the Convention.
True. An amazing feat. I'm surprised she managed to pull it off.
She will never be a candidate for anything ever again.
I hope you're right. She didn't learn after her loss to Obama the first time around. She wants it--badly, and she is being egged on by her lying cronies in the media. Maybe she thinks the third time will be the charm.
But Hillary DOES NOT want to “run” in the primaries - she’s not healthy enough to campaign actively (hell - she’d be stumbling and tottering through the primaries if she tried).
Hillary wants to come into a divided DNC convention and be immediately crowned “err apparent” to her throne. To be given the nomination as a “winning outsider” who can be swept in by her enthusiastic media.
That would split the party as it would be worse than what she did to Bernie in the last election.
We could sit back and antagonize all the supporters of the rejected candidates. Talk about a “Failed Election.”
“so if there is a brokered convention, Hillary, Michelle, etc. have at least until then to announce their interest, and then jump into the race. And I’ll bet that’s Hillary’s plan anyway. She’s not quite done yet.”
Why expose yourself to attack in primary contests, debates, etc???
She already has the name recognition,the built-in organization, the moneyed interests, etc . So all shes needs to do is sit back like the viper she is and wait
Who would give her money after she squandered 1.4 billion last time?
The candidate this year will need megabucks to fight President Trump who is raising massive amounts.
“When is the last date for a Democrat to jump in?”
That depends on what the meaning of “is”, is.
The US Constitution does not recognize “parties”, “primaries”, “running for President”, “conventions”, or even “voting for President”, except for the 538 Electors.
So, all of the above happen according to manmade rules with no underlying Constitutional structure, and as such are always subject to change.
Even bright line State laws dealing with these matters are subject to last minute court-ordered changes, as we saw in the NJ Senate race in 2002, when a court allowed what New Jersey law specifically prohibited, i.e., replacement of a candidate and reprinting of ballots within 34 days of an election.
So, to address the underlying issue, the Democrats can nominate anyone they wish without regard to prior events up until the third night of their 2020 convention, and, if that candidate appears to be losing, can replace that candidate up to Election Day, and if it suits them for whatever reason, can instruct their Electors (assuming 270+ Democrat Electors have been chosen) to vote for anyone of the party’s choice.
Very good point.
Who else would they give their money to?
The current slate of Dem candidates are all losers.
Laughable.
Can't remember the subject.
DDG is a privacy thing, not necesarilly the best searcher.
Not complaning, just saying.
